New MooTyper version 3.1.2 (Build 2016080700) was just added to MooTyper downloads. It has added some of the missing capabilities you normally expect Moodle activities to have. This release includes:

  • Modified the title of the current exercise so that instead of just showing the exercise number, it shows, Exercise number of how many. e.g. The first exercise of Lesson 1 would be, Exercise 1 of 10.
  • Added a setting for Recent Activity and the code to make it work.
  • Added a setting for Password and the code to make it work. This change also included a new field in the mdl_mootyper database table for the setting. The field for password, though never used before, was already present in the table.
  • Added code to implement the use of Open time and Close time. The the database fields and settings have been there for a long time, just no code to implement their use.
  • Setting for Lesson export that allows you to automatically add the current GMT to exported filenames so that new exports will not inadvertently overwrite previous versions of a lesson.

I just realized that I did not make a post about changes implemented in version 3.1.1, so:

  • Added color picker setting for passing grades in lessons.
  • Added color picker setting for failing grades in lessons.
  • Added color picker setting for suspicious grades.
  • Added color picker setting for keyboard background for new keyboard layouts.
    Does not affect old keyboard layout versions.
  • Added color picker setting for key tops of non-homerow keys for new keyboard layouts.
    Does not affect old keyboard layout versions.
  • Added a Default date format setting for how dates are displayed in the grade reports. The setting recognizes d, M, Y, G and i as well as comma and colon.
